What are the Possibilities?

The study of philosophy provides students the opportunity to analyze and thoughtfully respond to the fundamental ideas and basic concepts of human experience. It requires the constructive re-experiencing of those problems and doubts found in the principal writings of Western and Eastern philosophical traditions.

Accordingly, the philosophy program at Humboldt State University places foundational importance on the history of philosophy. The goal is to examine ourselves, diverse cultures, and different world views with the aims of analyzing and contributing toward a reformation of self and environment.
